Space embodies the way of life to some extent. As approaching the project, the designers thought about what kind of workspace could enable its users to focus on working while reflecting on life. Based on the concept "Life is a gleaming journey", they combined the real and virtual to create a poetic, eternal space that transcends logic and norms. Located in Binjiang District, Hangzhou, the project is a textilecompany's office & exhibition space, which was conceived with creative design concepts. The end scene at the entrance area was designed based on children' physical height and perspective. The overall spatial structure is solemn yet childish. Walls complemented by distinctive lighting and curves on the top endow the entire space with a restrained, calming, deep and isolated feeling, like a cave. The spatial structures feature geometric shapes and are organized in a way like kids' building blocks, appearing solemn yet childish. The interior is dominated by gray hue, and highlighted by dynamic red. The workbench draws inspiration from Ariadne's thread that helped Theseus find the way out of the labyrinth in Greek mythology. Its streamlined red surface penetrates the area under the arched ceiling, adding smoothness and freedom to the space. Thedesigners adopted the mysterious symbols to create an immersive aesthetic space.
